Saints, please continue to pray for all wildfires in the Northwest to cease, for an abundance of rain, and for the smoke to clear the atmosphere. Let's pray for all those who've lost their homes and loved ones and for our frontline firefighters and first responders, who are working around the clock to put out these horrific fires! Lord, let it rain! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

Dear Elijah List family,

This community has always been so supportive to me that I wanted to put out a plea for prayer. On Tuesday, Sept 8th, our beautiful valley has experienced the worst fire in Oregon's history. The picture here shows the destruction we experienced in Talent, Oregon (Southern Oregon area). Around the church were businesses, apartment complexes, and homes. They are now all burnt to the ground. (See first photo above)

It's a miracle the church building stands and was unharmed from the fire. We are both extremely grateful and saddened at the destruction around us. In the days to come, we will use this church to release hope and healing to our broken communities. 

At this time, we cannot use the facility due to the city being closed to the public. I am so proud to live in Southern Oregon; people have joined together to serve one another during this tragic time. People are going above and beyond what I have personally ever experienced as they care for one another.

We are also so grateful to our first responders for risking their lives to save ours. They continue to labor tirelessly for our safety.

However, our present needs are more significant than earthly help. At this time, 600 homes have burned to the ground, and there won't be an official death count until all debris is removed.

I am asking that this community puts up a prayer shield for all of those affected by the fires. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here

Please agree with me in prayer:

Father, we pray safety and protection over our first responders. We ask that You would comfort those who've lost loved ones, homes, and businesses. Father, we ask that rain would put out every fire still burning. We pray that those looking for hope would come running to You, Lord. I am asking You to turn what the enemy meant for evil and release an outpouring of Your Spirit that releases healing and harvest beginning in Southern Oregon, the Northwest, and into the nations. In Jesus' name!
